The concern is about protecting the country from Alito's partisan leanings and frequent misreadings of the record, which like everything else he interprets, he has twisted.

Anyone who suggests we just turn the page is in league with the GOP. This guy is telling you they tried to overthrow the government. You don't just pretend it never happened @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Expansion is a priority. Other considerations imv: jurisdiction stripping, shadow docket overhaul,limitations to the ability to overturn appellate court decisions. Yes to term limits & enforceable code of ethics, but not at the expense of expansion. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/democrats-...

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Impeachment is not some special exception from normal politics where you shouldn't say it unless you already have the votes in hand. You go out and plainly advocate what you think should be done, and attack those who refuse to do it, just like on anything else.

This is the same stupid strategy that resulted in the deaths of 600k Iraqis and 4500 Americans. Everything is the same--the lying to the public, the political grifters on TV, the absurdly credulous talk of targeted strikes undermined right away by the killing of children, and the naive or cynical

More accurately the national media has been wedded to their personal material comfort in the status quo of access journalism. They had ceased being true journalists even when Trump took power. Trump recognized and exploited this collective failure of MSM and now has arranged its oligarchic takeover.

Show me where there has been _any_ enforcement of these laws, or _any_ consequences from breaking these laws, and I might believe you. Until we have any sort of enforcement whatsoever, it's all 'functionally legal'.

Instead of folding like cheap chairs, Democrats should have forced the GOP to end the shutdown by killing the filibuster. Holding onto the archaic, antidemocratic tradition doesn't help them stop fascism, it makes them complicit to it. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

Schumer is spreading the word he was against the deal. But he is the leader. So he either tacitly let it happen or he failed as a leader. No excuse works for him. This is a fail.

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
